Four-star general將軍、普遍的, 全體的、大致的 Walter (Dutch荷蘭) Kerwin, who helped pioneer先鋒，創始人, 拓荒者 the US military’s historic shift to an all-volunteer force in the 1970s, had seen firsthand第一手地；直接地 the problems that could plague不斷困擾；折磨、瘟疫 a conscripted徵召，招募 army fighting a modern war.
Kerwin was the Army’s personnel（公司、組織或軍隊的）全體人員、人事部門 chief during the Vietnam War, grappling with盡力解決 draftees被徵兵入伍 deserting放棄、逃跑, abusing drugs and even murdering unpopular commanders指揮官.
With draftees被徵兵入伍's tours limited to 12 months, military units lost their vital重要的, 必不可少 cohesion凝聚（力）；團結.
In order to help “bring this level of indiscipline無紀律；缺乏管教 down,” as he told  congress代表大會、（美國）國會 at the time那時候, Kerwin drafted計劃, 草案 plans for what became the all-volunteer force that celebrated its 35th birthday on July 1, 2008.        
Kerwin famously spoke of the line that he felt must be drawn（draw 的過去分詞）between those in uniform and those they protect.
“The values necessary to defend the society are often at odds with與…不一致… the values of the society itself,” he said.
“The Army must concentrate專注、集中（注意力）not on the values of our liberal社會, 自由開放 society but on the hard values of the battlefield戰場.”
The volunteer Army isn’t without problems—conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have forced it to lower recruiting standards and increase bonuses奬金；花紅；紅利 to attract and retain保留 soldiers—but with a conscripted招募 force, the US probably couldn’t have waged（尤指支付給體力勞動者並通常按週計算的）工資 the two wars now under way.
Compared with morale（尤指險境或困境下的）士氣，精神面貌 during Vietnam, the spirit among US  troops軍隊，部隊 serving in war zones is relatively相對地 high—a fact that will no doub（尤指對好壞、真實性的）懷疑 be Kerwin’s legacy遺産，遺贈.
